Sticks and Stones, New Found Glory's third album, came out on June 11, 2002, through Drive-Thru and MCA, after the Coral Springs, Florida, band had moved out to San Diego to make it. Neal Avron, who'd produced their self-titled major-label debut, came back to run the February 2002 sessions, and he gets them sounding huge.
This is pop-punk at full sugar rush: Jordan Pundik's nasal yelp riding Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein's buzzsaw guitars, Ian Grushka and Cyrus Bolooki pounding away underneath, and every chorus pumped up for a sweaty all-ages crowd, with a hardcore crunch in the breakdowns. "My Friends Over You" was the smash and "Head on Collision" the follow-up. The album went to number four on the Billboard 200, pushed the band into the mainstream, sent them out headlining the 2002 Warped Tour, and eventually went platinum in 2020.
